You took the words right out of my, umm, fingers, lol! I made a batch of pasta salad last weekend for a friend's birthday party in a public park. The 5-quart ice-cream tub was the perfect size. It also had a handle, which made carrying so much easier! If they hadn't sent the leftovers home with me, I wouldn't have missed it, we could've replaced it by just buying another tub of ice cream. :D

We save those big ice cream containers with the handles for berry picking in the summer! Also, you can use them to take food/desserts to get-togethers...then it's no big deal if you forget to grab it when you go home.
